Explanation of Jai-Alai The Game The game played in a round robin, usually by 8 players or teams. The game begins when Player No. 1 (or Team No. 1) serves the ball to Player No. 2 (or Team No. 2). The winner of the point stays on the court to meet the next player (team) in rotation. Losers go to the end of the line to await another turn on the court. The first player (team) to score 7 points (or 9 in Superfecta games) wins. The next highest scores are "place" (second) and "show" (third). Playoffs decide tied scores. The two wall serve in not permitted in a quiniela. In a partido, there is only 2 teams playing up to 25-35 points with the playing rules remaining the same. The two wall serve is permitted in a partido. The Object The object of Jai Alai is to hurl a pelota (ball) against the front wall and as close to the side wall of the court with so much speed and spin that the opposition cannot catch or return it on the fly or the first bounce. The Serve The server must bounce the ball behind the serving line (the No. 11 line), and, with the cesta, hurl the ball directly to the front wall so that upon rebound it will bounce between lines No. 4 and 7. In a quiniela If the ball does not it is an under or over serve and the other team will receive the point. If the ball hits the side wall first (two wall serve), the serve is invalid and the point is awarded to the opposition.
